Face value means the value of the digit in isolation.

Place value means the value represented by the positionthat this digit sits within the number.

If you take the number 10 for example:

The first digit here "1" has a face value of 1. We just look at the digit in isolation and its face value is simply the value of the digit.

However its place value is tens. That is because it sits in the place of the tens column of a number (second digit to the left of where the decimal point would go)

For the number 200, the "2" has a face value of 2 and a place value of hundreds as it sits in the hundreds column of a number.
