While studying CS in my first year at university our maths professor spent the first week teaching us about ancient number systems and for the first few weeks taught us how count, add and subtract using Egyptian (Base 10) and Babylonian (Base 60) numerals. We were given some historical context for those number systems and this was the perfect way to lead into teaching us binary, octal and hexadecimal arithmetic. For those of us who have always been interested in computers it mightn't have been that useful but for the people who "sorta fell into this course" it was a great way to learn those concepts without it just being "that binary thing"
