  1. The importance is that you need to know where the numbers need to be.For example 400,000 the 4 in 400,000 if you needed to write a check for 400,000 dollars and just put 4 dollars that wouldn't be right.

  5. If you don"t have place value you could not do science or math or math reading or text books.you could not write a check or build houses.
    the value of the digits ones tens hundreds thousand ten thousand hundreds thousand. The value of a number is for example 298 the value of the 2 is 200.
