For the speech, what exactly are you struggling with? Have you written the speech and are nervous about performing it or are you struggling to write it?
With Maths, if you want to get better you’ll need to practice. Corbett maths is good for daily practice questions and can be done for a variety of ability levels. If you’re struggling with basic skills like addition facts, naming polygons, timetables you can use blooket to learn those.
Don’t bunk the class, just ignore the people who you dont like the best you can and try and be respectful. There are serious consequences for skipping lessons and also if you’re already struggling with maths this wont make it any better.

Face your fears down.
Fight against your fears controlling you.
Don't bunk off school. Deliver the speech.
Open the speech with an attention grabber.
Don't read a speech out. Talk from the heart, as if you're talking to a friend, except louder so they can hear at the back. If you have time, learn about memory pegs for memorising lists (1 run 2 zoo 3 tree etc) and organise what you want to talk about into a memory peg list.
Focus on your audience. Don't focus on what you're feeling. Don't stay trapped in your head.
Aim to end the speech with a call to action, or a summary of the main message you want to put over in the speech.
Tell a story or one or more anecdotes in the speech that will illustrate the point you want to make. The attention grabber can be something from the story or an anecdote, such as a dramatic moment in the story. EG "Smack! (with you clapping your hands loudly) The pain was terrible..." as an attention grabber with you then telling the story about how you got into the accident.
Treat this speech as practise and learning for speeches you will make later in life.
Don't spend too long preparing this speech. You have all the other things going on in your life.
Put emotion into your speech. Don't talk like a robot.
Don't worry about grammatical mistakes and using the perfect words for everything. Don't worry if the odd swear word slips out.
As you speak you should find that the speed you speak at varies, depending on what you're talking about. Sometimes slower, sometimes quicker.
Accept that no speech is perfect. And that your speech won't be. Good enough is good enough. And if anyone doesn't like your good enough speech, that's tough titties on them. With bar on good enough being very low, because you're a school kid in year 11 that's never received professional public speech training.

Considering you’re comfortable in drama, I have a suggestion. Focus on writing your speech for now, then when you are learning it, pretend it’s a monologue. Practice it at home over and over again until you’re comfortable doing it. Then, when you do it in front of the class, hopefully you’ll know it so well that it’ll be second nature, and you won’t even realise your doing a speech, but instead just performing your prepared ‘monologue’. That’s what I did for my speech and I got a distinction.
