Chapter 1: Algebraic Expressions and Operations with Real Numbers

This chapter is a comprehensive tour through the basic operations of real numbers and the foundations of algebraic expressions. You will begin with learning about variables and how to translate to and from words and algebraic expressions. From there, a healthy dose of the order of operations (PEMDAS) and plugging numbers into expressions involving variables is your next stop. You will then rock square roots of perfect squares and classify and study the properties of real numbers. Then comes the core part of the chapter where you will review all forms of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers, decimals, and fractions. The distributive property and combining like terms are then explored before rounding out the chapter with a brief reintroduction into equations and a review of graphing on the coordinate plane.  Let’s start this Algebra party off right!!

  • 5 star review  If you are looking for an enthusiastic teacher who makes understanding math easy then look no further. Matt came to our rescue when my daughter was struggling in AP Calculus BC. Not only was he able to boost her grade to an A, she also scored a 5 on her AP exam for both Calculus AB and BC. Also, My son went to his SAT class over the summer and after every class he said how much he enjoyed Matt and was excited about what he learned. I will continue to give Matt the highest recommendation which is rare for me since I am a math teacher myself. He is excellent!

    5 star review  Mr. Groden is an outstanding math teacher. He is very patient, always positive and has an excellent reputation. He currently tutors my 8th grader. We would highly recommend him!! He is the best!

  • 5 star review  Matt Groden is by far the best math instructor around!!! He has a passion for math and it shows through his ability to break down any math problem, no matter how complicated, into a simple form the student can understand. He is kind, easy going and most importantly, he truly cares about his students.

    5 star review  I was lucky enough to have Mr. Groden as my teacher for two classes throughout high school. In school, math was never my strong suite but Mr. Groden was able to use real life examples that pertained to myself that helped me with understanding the math. After a couple of years, I started attending Rider University where I studied Business. I hadn't been in a math class in years so when I found out that I had to take Quantitative Methods for Business, I knew that I was in trouble. After receiving my first test and seeing that I received a low C, I reached out to Mr. Groden to see if he were doing any tutoring and surly enough he was. Mr. Groden met with me once a week and again was able to use real life examples that pertained to myself and I was able to understand the math. I ended the semester receiving an A in the class, and I know 100% I would not have reached that without Mr. Grodens help. Thank you!

  • 5 star review  When multiple people from all different parts of your life compliment a teacher you have to think--how can this be? Is he for real? Is he really THAT good? So I was a little skeptical. NOT ANYMORE! Mr. Groden is the REAL DEAL! He truly loves teaching and he loves kids but most of all he loves to see kids succeed. And that's what he does. He makes kids perform better and reach their full potential. I highly recommend Matt's courses. My son just finished his SAT class and thoroughly enjoyed it (yes, he enjoyed a class---over the summer!) So what are you waiting for?? Sign your student up with Matt ASAP! Do not pass GO and do not COLLECT $200! This is real life people and Matt is the real deal!

    positive review  Mr. Groden is an energetic, dynamic teacher who truly cares about his students. He uses real-world examples and innovative teaching practices to help his students learn the concepts and to develop a passion about mathematics.

    5 star review  Matt cannot be more highly recommended as a math tutor or teacher. His ability to explain difficult concepts in an easy to understand fashion is phenomenal. The enthusiasm he displays is contagious and allows the student to become more actively engaged. He always tries to relate the topics to areas of interest and works hard to make a personal connection.

  • 5 star review  Matt’s excitement for learning boosted my sons confidence. He showed him ways to solve problems and feel confident. That in itself is amazing. I highly recommend Matt. No doubt your child’s grade or SATs will soar.

    5 star review  I took a Calc. 2 class at BCCC this semester and we missed 3 weeks of class due to snow, meaning my professor had to condence the material and breeze by a lot of important concepts. If it hadn't been for Matt there is no way I would've passed the course. He presented everything in a clear, comprehensive, and easy to understand way that I've never really experienced before and I did really well because of it. He took the time to explain everything, answered all of my questions and made sure that I was keeping up with him every step of the. He's a genuine guy who really wants you to learn and enjoys teaching. I highly recommend him for anyone who is struggling with their course work, you'll never make a better investment.

  • positive review  Matt truly cares about each student. My son took his SAT prep course and his math section increased 90 points. There was great communication after each course session as the teachers would email what was covered, what to do next, and an overview of future class. He was always there to answer any question my son ( and I) had.

    positive review  My youngest son took the Algebra 1 course to keep up his skills during summer and loved it. My oldest son had Matt for AP Calculus a few years ago and loved it. Matt Groden is a fun, patient, pleasant, very effective teacher who shows your child how to understand and love math, not dread it!

  • 5 star review  My daughter (who usually gets straight A's) was struggling in Pre-Calculus with a D+ current grade. After tutoring with Mr. Grodan, she got an A on her final and ended up passing the class with a B. I recommend his services to anyone who is struggling with math.

    5 star review  Mr. Groden's enthusiasm and energy for teaching math is unparalleled. My son attended Mr. Groden's AP calculus test prep course and looked forward to the sessions. He feels completely prepared for the AP test. Thank you!

  • 5 star review  Seriously a hero. I was struggling to pass the Praxis Core math section and he was great and fast with setting up a good time to meet and really helped me nail concepts that I needed. I highly recommend meeting with Matt if you feel yourself struggling in any area of math! Thank you again!

    positive review  Thank you for offering these summer courses. I think it is important to keep up the skills over the summer and not get summer brain. You also have a wonderful teaching style which i know my daughter appreciates.

  • 5 star review  Both of our sons were extremely fortunate to have Mr. Groden for AP Calculus. He is enthusiastic, clear and an all-around outstanding teacher. He motivates his students and consistently shows great interest in their well being, both in and out of the classroom. Both our sons were extremely well prepared for the AP exam. Thank you!

    5 star review  Mr Groden has the ability to make calculus (and math in general) fun, meaningful, relevant, etc. and to relate complex concepts in a way that not only makes sense, but also gives the students the ability to re-apply the concepts later on. Our son had Mr. Groden as his calculus teacher in high school, and our daughter has now used Mr. Groden's services for both SAT prep and AB Calculus weekly review. Both have been excellent and more than worth the money spent.

  • 5 star review  My son Griffin took Matt's AP Clac summer class he thoroughly enjoyed Matt's style of teaching and felt the class will prepare him for AP Calc this year. I highly recommend Matt and any of his classes!

    5 star review  My daughter enjoyed her Alg I review and jump start on Alg II tutoring. Something about the way Matt explained concepts made sense to her. He spoke to her in a way that helped build her confidence and made math less intimidating for her. Highly recommend!
