I think the main use of 'numerate' is as an adjective meaning roughly
the same as 'literate' but about numbers/maths rather than about
'letters' (words/writing/reading/...).  Didn't know it was a verb in English
(in Italian the equivalent "numerare" exists, and means "associate numbers 
with" more strictly than "enumerare" does, so it _would_ be perfect for
a native speaker of Italian -- hardly an important issue, though).
