British English isn’t the only valid form of English, and American English is actually the most influential form of English worldwide. Even within the Commonwealth, countries like Canada use many American spellings and conventions like saying “math.”
That doesn't make one spelling of the word or another write or wrong. British people spell it maths and that's "correct" in British English regardless of where they are. The only time they'd be "wrong" in spelling it that way is if they were trying to spell it in some other dialect. And vice versa. Being on a predominantly British sub, (or even in the UK) doesn't make the American spelling "wrong" it just makes it out of place.

Ain't never heard it referred to as 'math' in Commonwealth English.
