This document invites mathematics teachers and educators to participate in the 14th Asian Technology Conference in Mathematics (ATCM 2009) taking place in Beijing, China from December 17-21, 2009. It provides details about the conference including its theme, description, registration fees, and deadline for abstract and full paper submissions. Additionally, it proposes organizing a self-service tour for about 30-40 teachers to attend the conference where participants would independently book hotels and register for the conference at reduced rates. Interested teachers are asked to provide their names and affiliations.

1. Dear Mathematics Teachers and Educators,
Good News for All.
Malaysia will be organizing an International Conference in Mathematics and Technology
(ATCM) in Kuala Lumpur 2010. We would like to have more teachers and educators from
Malaysia to contribute papers and participate in this conference. This year, you are invited to
participate or contribute papers to ATCM 2009 in Beijing.

d) Conference Theme "Journey to discover more mathematics”
e) Brief Description: The ATCM 2009 is an international conference to be held in China
that will continue addressing technology-based issues in all Mathematical Sciences.
Thanks to advanced technological tools such as computer algebra systems (CAS),
interactive and dynamic geometry, and hand-held devices, the effectiveness of our
teaching and learning, and the horizon of our research in mathematics and its
applications continue to grow rapidly. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum
for educators, researchers, teachers and experts in exchanging information regarding
enhancing technology to enrich mathematics learning, teaching and research at all
levels. English is the official language of the conference. There will be over 400
participants coming from over 33 countries around the world.
f) Due Date for Abstract Submission: June 15, 2009.

Dear friends,

2. Our idea is to organize a ‘Self –Service’ Tour to Beijing, for about 30-40 teachers and
educators to attend this conference.
“Self-Service” meaning that:
1. On-line booking of hotel according to your budget. You may bring your family for
holidays. You may refer to ATCM 2009 URL for recommended hotels which are near the
conference venue and will be available in mid June. The rate for some hotels is roughly
75USD for double occupancy, and some is ranging from 30USD to 50USD.
2. Registration for Conference ATCM 2009
Teachers/educators who are interested to attend the conference, please give me your
names and affiliation for special arrangement. Thanks to special offer from the
organizing committee of ATCM 2009: online registration fees for the conference
included attending all the 5 days conference sessions and workshops, resources for
conference, lunch and tea-breaks, visiting schools in Beijing, special tour organized by
the conference host : only 180USD (normal price 270USD) if we are able to assemble a
team over 30 delegates.
3. Booking of Air tickets: you may go through MATTA Fair which is in October.
Meanwhile returned air tickets offered (until August 31) by Air China is RM840, MAS
(Super Savers RM1646). If I have news of better offer, I will inform you.
If you need any help or further information, please feel free to contact me through
email (dinghongeng2@yahoo.com). Please pass this message to your colleagues or friends.
Hope to meet you at Beijing ATCM 2009.
Thanks for your support.
Best wishes,
Ding Hong Eng
