This submission contains the Proceedings of the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), held at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. 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, working group reports, topic session descriptions, new PhD reports, and summaries of ad hoc sessions. Papers include: (1) Ambiguity and Mathematical Thinking (William Byers); (2) Learning From and With Parents: Resources for Equity in Mathematics Education (Marta Civil); (3) Collaboration et echanges internationaux en education mathematique dans le cadre de la CIEM: regards selon une perspective canadienne / ICMI as a Space for International Collaboration and Exchange in Mathematics Education: Some Views From a Canadian Perspective (Bernard R.
