Hi, I vote for sentence 1, although 4 might be correct. 2 and 3 are definitely not correct. I have a little problem with the choice of the word maths .

  • The full word is mathematics, and if you had said, I got full marks in my mathematics project , the sentence would be fine, but I would not say maths because as far as I know there is no plural form of 'math'.
  • Just say math project .

TrysBI have a little problem with the choice of the word maths.
In some cultures, the word maths is commonly used to mention mathematics. In some educational systems, maths is referred to as a subject of learning, at least in my country where it is used and printed on books as an accepted word.
