Remember these!
- Place value tells us the value of a digit based on its position.

- 34 = 30 + 4 = 3 tens and 4 ones.
- The same digit means different amounts in different positions.
- Place value helps understand bigger numbers.
- It is a foundation for adding and subtracting two-digit numbers.
- The tens place shows groups of ten.
- The ones place shows single units.
