Place value is a system that groups number based on their size.
The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group then with in the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, Seven hundred and nine ones.
Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.
