This picture shows a place value board/game which would be very useful when instructing elementary aged students place value. Place value seems to be an an abstract idea, that if not presented correctly or at least in a hands on fashion, is usually lost on younger students. As seen in this photo, units from ones up to the thousands are represented by cubes in a way that children will be able to easily grasp.
