Your first sentence is correct - 'I got full marks in my maths project.' None of the others are correct.

For the other questions raised:

'Maths' is British English. 'Math' isn't used in British English, really.
'Full marks' means '100% correct' - perhaps it's also British English. As far as I'm aware you can't say, 'I got a full mark in my test.' Only, 'I got full marks in my test.'

:up: Yes, also "maths" is more logical since it's the abbreviation of "mathematics" which is plural.;-)
