📌 What is Place Value?

In a two-digit number:
- The digit on the left (the tens place) tells you how many groups of ten.
- The digit on the right (the ones place) tells you how many single units.

For example:
→ In 53:
  The 5 is in the tens place → 5 tens (which is 50)
  The 3 is in the ones place → 3 ones (which is 3)
  So, 53 = 5 tens + 3 ones
