Understanding place values is crucial for 6-year-olds as it serves as the foundation for all future math learning. Place values help children comprehend the significance of each digit in a number, teaching them that numbers are not just isolated figures, but part of a system that gives more context to their value based on their position. For instance, recognizing that in the number 42, the '4' represents 40, while the '2' represents 2, lays the groundwork for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Parents and teachers should care about this because strong place value knowledge not only enhances numeracy skills but also boosts confidence in math. Understanding normal numbers through their place values enables children to engage in problem-solving activities and develop critical thinking skills. Furthermore, early mastery of place values can lead to a love for math, reducing anxiety and discouragement later on.

By fostering a solid grasp of place values, adults can help children make connections between numbers and real-world applications, such as counting money or telling time. This holistic understanding sets the stage for lifelong mathematical proficiency, making it essential for both parents and educators to emphasize knowledge of place values in early education.
