In the paper we present some of the recent findings in the field of numerical processing and brain mechanisms underlying these processes. Quantity estimation and comparison represent the basics of numerical processing. We present this system more in details as this core quantity system is well recognized in infants as well as in some animal species. Core quantity system which is also called mathematical intuition, can be extended by a more complex, arithmetic processing, which is also presented within the article. Understanding the brain mechanisms which underlay numerical processing can help us understand and develop mathematical competence, which represents one of the key cognitive abilities that is acquired through formal schooling.
