National Metric Day
-- The 10th day of the 10th month is known as National Metric Day in the US. The metric system is recognized as the preferred system for weights and measures, science, engineering, and mathematics. Currently, there are only 3 countries (including the US) that do not recognize the metric system as the preferred standard of measurement.

Read: The Metric System (My Path to Math)
-- This fascinating book takes young readers on a trip to a science lab where they will learn about the metric system. Simple text shows ways of measuring length (meters and centimeters), temperature (Celsius), and weight (grams and kilograms). Comparisons between key metric measurements and similar U.S. customary measurements, such as yards, inches, and Fahrenheit, help children understand the two systems.

Join thousands of DIYers who have used this vinyl decal kit to successfully and easily make their own growth chart ruler by saving the time and headache of hand painting the lines and numbers on the board themselves!

Educational Metric Placemats
-- Almost all of the placemats are interactive with a write-on/wipe-off surface and learning exercises on the back. From preschoolers to grandparents there is a placemat for everyone. They offer a delightful way for children to master new subjects and for adults to brush up on old ones.

Metric Measures Lotto Game

Each board has 9 playing squares, showing clear images accompanied by a range of scales. Players read these scales and match the measures to cards on which the same measures are shown as numerals.
