This is a standard use of quotations outside or directly quoting, its a way to draw attention to a word as an object so to speak.

I wanted to double check so I asked google Gemini, and it said the following when asking:

Yes, the quotation marks are correctly used around the word “Maths.”

Why the Quotation Marks are Correct

The quotation marks are appropriate for two main reasons in this sentence:

  1. Direct Mention: You are using the word “Maths” to refer to the word itself, rather than using it as a standard part of the sentence’s action. This is called using words as words, and they are often enclosed in quotation marks for clarity.

  2. Highlighting a Specific Term/Usage: The quote marks draw attention to the specific term that the speaker wishes Americans would say, highlighting the difference in usage (American “Math” vs. British “Maths”).

In grammar and style guides, quotation marks are a standard way to set off words or phrases being discussed, defined, or used in an unusual way.
