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, as well as in 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.

Comparisons between key metric measurements and similar U.S. customary measurements, such as yards, inches, and Fahrenheit, help children understand the two systems.
