La storia
Your school subjects are your 'materials'. Spanish also inherited the same word as madera 'wood', and French as madrier 'beam' — the original meaning.

La famiglia latina
PATR-, MĀTR-· father, mother
PATREM and MĀTREM are near-perfect cognates in Spanish and Italian (padre, madre) and lose the middle in French (père, mère). Their derivatives make good doublets: Spanish padrón 'census roll' and Italian padrone 'owner' beside learned patrón/patrono, and — probably — Spanish madera 'wood' beside learned materia 'matter'. Portuguese pai, mãe and Catalan pare, mare wear the words down further; Romanian replaced both with nursery words, tată and mamă.
