To sign 'math', form both hands into 'M' handshapes by tucking your thumbs under your first three fingers. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing toward you. Swing your hands together so the fingers cross over each other like an 'X', brushing past each other twice.
Sign 'math' using the crossing 'M' handshapes, then sign 'test', and finish with 'tomorrow' to establish the timeline of the event.
Point to yourself, sign 'favorite' by tapping your middle finger to your chin, then sign 'math', and finally 'class' or 'subject'.
Sign 'math', then 'homework', followed by the sign for 'help' moving toward yourself to indicate that you are the one receiving the assistance.

This is an initialized sign, meaning it uses the first letter of the English word ('M' for math) while incorporating a movement that represents the concept. In this case, the movement looks like a multiplication symbol.
No, specific branches of math have their own initialized signs. For example, 'algebra' uses 'A' handshapes, and 'geometry' uses 'G' handshapes, but they both follow the exact same crossing movement as 'math'.
You should cross and brush your hands twice. In ASL, nouns typically have a double movement, while verbs have a single movement. Since 'math' is a noun, it gets the double motion.
