国际数学教育大会（ICME） 是最重要的科学交流论坛， 数学教育中的学者信息。 第六 ICME将于1988年7月17日至8月3日在布达佩斯举行， 匈牙利. 鉴于目前数学教育的危机， 关键是美国必须有一个很好的代表， 数学教育工作者和有关大会的信息是 在我国数学教育工作者中广泛传播， 教育领导者。 全国教师理事会 数学（NCTM），在数学的支持下， 美国协会（MAA）将选出40名代表参加ICME-6 谁的旅行将得到部分补贴，谁将提交一份 大会活动的书面总结。 那些报告沿着 与邀请文件由选定的个人将作为一个基础 关于大会活动的专著，将由 NCTM。 文章将由颁奖委员会准备， 提交以供在NCTM和MAA通讯中发表， 总发行量近7万份的期刊。 有关大会程序的简报会将安排在多个地点举行。 NCTM会议。 在全球范围内获得数学教育的必要性 基础不能过于强调。 教育问题 似乎比以前认为的更普遍。 共享 如果我们要发展最先进的技术， 有效的数学教育方法。 出席会议 大会由来自美国的数学教育家和 以后的出版物将提供宝贵的信息， 那些关心教育现状的人， 数学，在未来的政治和 经济领域。

The International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) is the most important forum for exchanges of scientific information among scholars in mathematics education. The Sixth ICME will be held on July 17 - August 3, 1988 in Budapest, Hungary. Given the current crises in mathematics education, it is essential that the United States be well represented by key mathematics educators and that information about the Congress be widely disseminated among our nation's mathematics educators and educational leaders. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), with the support of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), will select 40 delegates to ICME-6 whose travel will be partially subsidized and who will submit a written summary of the Congress activities. Those reports along with invited papers by selected individuals will serve as a basis for a monograph on Congress activities that will be published by NCTM. Articles will be prepared by the Awards Committee to be submitted for publication in NCTM and MAA newsletters and journals with a combined circulation of nearly 70,000. Presentations on Congress proceeding will be arranged at various NCTM meetings. The necessity to gain mathematics education on a global basis cannot be too strongly emphasized. Problems in education appear to be more universal than previously thought. The sharing of solutions among nations is vital if we are to develop the most effective cures in mathematics education. Attendance at this Congress by mathematics educators from the United States and subsequent publications will provide invaluable information to those persons concerned with the current state of education in mathematics, an area of significance in future political and economic areas.
