Elementary school was like that for me. Just “Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies.” I still don’t know how geography fell under the umbrella of social studies.
Math or history didn’t bother you? The last time you had a class called “Science” was probably the same as the last time you had a class called “Math” and a class called “History”: elementary or junior high.
That’s a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I’m from Germany)
The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you’re in.
I always had just one math class (the last one was “Math for physicists 3”, in the third semester at university) and what would “history” be split into as a school subject?
Where do you have only one “science” school subject? I always had physics, chemistry and biology separately.

Probably because geography has had a huge impact on societies and cultures, if I had to guess
Pretty sure they’re talking about the colors of question categories in the board game Trivial Pursuit.

They’re being used as general subject terms…

We had ‘physical science’ freshman year, then it split after that.
