Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.
The position of a digit determines it's value. When we say numbers we group them within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds, 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.
