Introduction
EARCOME is the name given to the ICMI‐East Asia Regional Conference on
Mathematics Education.
The ICMI-East Asia Regional Conference on Mathematics Education series grew out of earlier conferences in the region. The South East Asia Conference on Mathematics Education (SEACME) series began in 1978 in Manila, and thereafter conferences were held at three‐year intervals at Kuala Lumpur (1981), Hat Yai (1984), Singapore (1987), Brunei (1990), Surabaya (1993), Hanoi (1996), and Manila again in 1999. In addition there have been two ICMI‐China Regional Conferences on Mathematics Education, in Beijing (1991) and Shanghai (1994).
EARCOME‐1, held in 1998 in Korea, was independent of these series, but EARCOME‐2 came together with SEACME‐9 in Singapore in 2002. The EARCOME series replaced the SEACME series thereafter.

EARCOME is held every three years except on the year when the International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is held. On such a year, EARCOME is held the year before. Countries in East Asia take turns hosting the conference:
EARCOME 1 1998 Republic of Korea
EARCOME 2 2002 Singapore
EARCOME 3 2005 China
EARCOME 4 2007 Malaysia
EARCOME 5 2010 Japan
EARCOME 6 2013 Thailand
EARCOME 7 2015 Philippines
