When do we use a capital for the word math? When do we use Math vs math? Example: Own works well in math class or Own works well in Math class? Owen contributes positively in Math through regular participation? VS. Owen contributes positively in math through regular participation?
You would use Math if that word, spelled exactly like that, is part of a course's title -- Math IV, for example, or maybe Math for Business.
When you're referring to math/mathematics in general terms, not as a title of a course, you use lower-case m.
Usually, school subjects are not capitalized: math, geography, history, but French, English.
We capitalize Algebra I, Economics 101, and the School of Music.

Find "Proper Nouns" on this webpage, and then look at the bottom of that whole category. The differences are spelled out for you.
In general, the word "math" is written in lowercase unless it is used as part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence.
Here are a few guidelines to help determine when to use a capital letter for "math":
1. At the beginning of a sentence: Just like any other word, when "math" starts a sentence, it should be capitalized. For example, "Math is my favorite subject."
2. As part of a proper noun: If "math" is part of a proper noun, such as the name of a specific course or organization, it should be capitalized. For example, "Own works well in Math 101 class." Here, "Math 101" is the proper name of the specific course.
3. Referring to the subject universally: When "math" is used to refer to the subject universally, it is generally written in lowercase. For example, "Own works well in math class" or "Owen contributes positively in math through regular participation." Here, "math" is not part of a specific course or organization's name, so it is not capitalized.
It's important to note that the capitalization rules may vary in certain contexts, so always check for any specific style guidelines or conventions that may apply to your writing.
