2024MathWOOT_L2_Syllabus
MathWOOT Level 2 is designed for students that score 9+ on the AIME, expect to qualify for the
USA(J)MO, and are dedicated to improving their score on that competition. The goal of this class is a
firm foundation in Olympiad math, beyond the material from AIME and AMC competitions. The material
covers varying levels of USA(J)MO problem difficulty.
Book: In-class handouts are provided as needed for prerequisite material.
Time Commitment: This 22-week course includes 120 minutes in-class each week and 2-10 hours of
homework each week.
Practice: Along with the weekly homework, MathWOOT includes 4 full-length practice competitions and a
written problem every other lesson which are evaluated by expert Olympiad problem solvers.
Schedule: Each practice competition will be released and due on a Wednesday.
Assignment Available Due
