Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.
The position of a digit determins its value. When saying numbers we group them within same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousand, seven hundreds & 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.
