About Mr. Blackford
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Pure Mathematics from California State University, Fullerton in Spring of 2012 with honors (Cum Laude) . I am currently part of the Robert Noyce (MT2) cohort at CSUF. I attained my credential in Mathematics in Spring 2013. I also completed my Masters of Science in Education with an emphasis in Teaching Foundational Math in Summer 2014. I have extensive training and experience in tutoring, using technology in the classroom, leading classroom discussions, and teaching mathematics at the secondary and university level.
What is Math?
Math is the rules of the world by which all things must obey. There are no things in this world that can defy math. Because of this, math is considered a hard science. Math is the only science that is involved in every other science. You can find it in chemistry, physics, biology, psychology, and many others. More than this, we include math in our every day lives all the time. While most math classes focus on the formulas and theorems that are involved in math, we will focus on how math affects us in every day life and how we can use it.
