Is MMM writing school curriculum?

[I'm a red panda]

I do a lot of work with various state standards for math education.

Colorado mostly uses Common Core, but has a few additional things thrown in.  Was wondering if a specific Coloradoan might have been part of the lobby to add these.

I noticed these:

iv.   Describe factors affecting take-home pay and calculate the impact
v.   Design and use a budget, including income (net take-home pay) and expenses (mortgage, car loans, and living expenses) to demonstrate how living within your means is essential for a secure financial future

Model personal financial situations   
i.   Analyze the impact of interest rates on a personal financial plan
ii.   Evaluate the costs and benefits of credit
iii.   Analyze various lending sources, services, and financial institutions

I wonder how much they ever actually get covered as part of a math class though.

I'm curious: what grade is this for? My parents put me on a budget when I was 12, where I bought my own clothes, saved up for Christmas presents, etc... It taught me a lot about personal finances.
