Abstract
This paper uses a textual analysis of two documents prepared by the mathematics community and the
mathematics education research community to the National Numeracy Review in 2007 to uncover and
compare knowledge legitimation within these two fields. The paper shows that knowledge within these
disciplines is based on different epistemic devices, and hence that debates surrounding mathematics
education arise, at least in part, from differing ways of viewing knowledge.
