Australian English - Math or Maths

[kiwi girl]

Hey Aussie girls

me and BF are just watching the U.S. 'are you smarter than a 5th grader' and so the question arises - do you Aussies say math (like they do in the US) or maths (with an 's') like NZ and I assume British English

how about Canadian English?

I haven't seen the Aussie version, although it could well be on Prime which has a bunch of Aussie stuff - we do have a NZ version 'are you smarter than a 10 year old"
