In whole and decimal numbers there is the following pattern of threes (H-T-O) that enables numbers to go on to billions, trillions and so on, or back to thousandths, millionths and so on.

Why is place value so hard?

Place-value is difficult to teach and learn as it is often masked by successful performance on superficial tasks such as counting by ones on a 0-99 or 1-100 Number Chart. The structure of the base ten number system is essentially multiplicative, as it involves counts of different sized groups that are powers of 10.
