Hello Students and Parents,

Welcome to the homepage of Mr. Blackford. On the right, you will find links to the pages that are necessary for students that are taking classes with me this year. You will find all class information, links, and homework in these pages.

The best way to contact me is through my email: [email protected]

I will be available before school (on most days) from 7:00 - 7:50 am, during tutorial, and after school by appointment. I encourage students and parents to contact me via e-mail to ensure my presence at these times. My room is E-13. Students can find me in this room throughout the day. Please make an appointment to see me so I can expect you.

Thank you,

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. 

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.

What does math have to do with every day life?
