This submission contains the Proceedings of the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), held at Laval University in Québec City, Québec. The CMESG is a group of mathematicians and mathematics educators who meet annually to discuss mathematics education issues at all levels of learning. The aims of the Study Group are: to advance education by organizing and coordinating national conferences and seminars to study and improve the theories of the study of mathematics or any other aspects of mathematics education in Canada at all levels; and to undertake research in mathematics education and to disseminate the results of this research. These proceedings include plenary lectures, a panel discussion, working group reports, topic session descriptions, new PhD reports, and summaries of ad hoc and poster sessions. Papers include: (1) Towards an Understanding of Ethical Practical Action in Mathematics Education: Insights from Contemporary Inquiries (Margaret Walshaw); (2) Old and New Mathematical Ideas from Africa: Challenges for Reflection (Paulus Gerdes); (3) Cooda, Wooda, Didda, Shooda: Time Series Reflections on CMESG/GCEDM (William Higginson); (4) Panel: What is Fundamental Mathematics for Learners?
