Kurzbeschreibung

von der Webseite: East Asia Regional Conference on Mathematics Education (EARCOME) is a series of international conference, which is usually designated as ICMI regional conference, hosted in East Asian countries. The First EARCOME was held in Korea (1998), the second in Singapore (2002), the third in China (2005), and the fourth in Malaysia (2007). Japan to be the host of EARCOME 5 is a decision of representatives from East Asian countries during the period of EARCOME 4. The participants not only from East Asian countries but also from countries around the world are welcome. It is really a worldwide international event for researchers, mathematics educators, school teachers, policy makers and other scholars to share their knowledge among each other. Tokyo is the largest industrial and commercial city in Japan. Many best hotels arranging from 5-star hotels to budget hotels and the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center offering standard service and hospitality, could be your choice for accommodation. The climate of Tokyo is hot and humid in summer. Temperature is usually 33 degree in the daytime and 26 degree at night. Air condition is available for all activities indoor.
