Chapter 6: Linear Functions and Graphing Lines

This chapter is one of the core branches of Algebra 1. Your journey through lines begins with a super thorough tour of rate of change and slope along with direct variation. From there you will learn the three forms of a linear function: slope-intercept form, point-slope form, and standard form. In your explorations of these three forms, you will learn to graph, construct, and use these linear functions in various scenarios. You will then rock horizontal and vertical lines followed by mastering the ins and outs of parallel and perpendicular lines. The chapter finishes off with a study of scatterplots and the all-important graphing of absolute value functions to understand how graphs are shifted in all directions. Let’s start up this linear awesomeness!!!

  • 5 star review  Matt is incredible at translating the difficult to understand into easy to learn concepts. He helped our son who was struggling with calculus to attain good grades. We can't recommend him highly enough !

    5 star review  My daughter had a great experience in Mr. Groden's SAT prep class. We had been searching for an effective affordable option and this in person class was just the right choice!! Excellent follow up and communication of expectations each week prior to class helped the kids keep on track. It also helped me know what was covered and what was expected of her. Nice work! I highly recommend!

  • 5 star review  My son had Mr. Groden as a teacher at PHS and my daughter attending Summer AP Calc Prep. Matt does the unthinkable, he makes Calc fun for his students and they are not afraid to make mistakes or ask for help. My daughter feels more confident having attended "math camp". Thank you!

    positive review  Love. :) My daughter took Matt’s AP Calc prep class, and my son watched the algebra prep videos. Both loved, especially my daughter who now wants to sign up for every class Matt offers. Thank you for approaching teaching in such a fun and engaging way!! So highly recommend. :)

  • 5 star review  Mr. Groden is passionate about teaching and leading his student to success. My son took his SAT prep course and he had nothing but praise for Mr. Groden. Not only is he a great teacher, but his students like and respect him and therefore are eager to learn. Every time I picked my son up from the class he had something positive to say. I would recommend Mr. Groden's tutoring or SAT Prep to anyone looking for real results from an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher.

    5 star review  My son was struggling in Calculus. He lost all confidence and felt there was no way he could pass his class. With Matt's help my son started understanding his work and gained confidence. Matt made learning exciting and fun. We owe so much to Matt's amazing ability to do whatever it takes to help his students. There is no one better than Matt!

  • positive review  If you are looking for an SAT prep class, look no further. My son took Matt's course this past summer and was able to increase his score 100 points after taking the classes. Thank you, Matt for your help!

    5 star review  Matt has helped my son immensely in preparing both for the SATs and the AP Calculus BC exam. He has a way of explaining and teaching math that kept my son excited and energized to learn more. My son did extremely well on his SATs and was strong in Calculus, all thanks to Matt and his care for his students. If you are need for math help for your child, look no further!

  • 5 star review  My daughter took Matt's pre AP Calc summer class. Was a little "bummed" about a summer course ... that is until the first class! Ended up LOVING the course and enthusiastcly attending every week! Thank you Matt!

    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  My daughter loved working with Matt through his Middle School Math Foundations course. She was apprehensive to take Math for fun over the summer alongside her other activities but absolutely loved Matts approach to teaching! She is sad to see it end but is looking forward to continuing with him throughout her education! Highly recommend Matt to all my friends and family out there!

    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!

  • positive review  Matt does a fantastic job of helping the students understand how to apply formulas and why they work! He never just has the students memorize formulas. My son really liked his approach and it helped that he made videos to refer to when he needed a refresher during the week. I would highly recommend his courses!

    5 star review  Matt - is an amazing teacher - his method of communication in order to ensure a complete understanding of the concepts was clearly reflected in my son's test scores once he started working with Matt - it was instantaneous. We were blessed to get terrific recommendations for Matt and he jumped in and my son loved working with Matt. I would recommend him to anyone and hope to continue to work with him remotely for college calc.

  • 5 star review  Matt helped my daughter prepare for a test last minute when another tutor canceled only a few hours before the session! You can tell Matt genuinely cares about the students success. We hope to enroll in one of his summer sessions and SAT prep courses. Thanks again, Matt!

    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  I cannot say enough about Matt Groden. My son attended his AP Calc review course last summer. Mr. Goden's enthusiam for math was infectious to my son. He completed the course and had such a renewed excitement for math that I had not seen in quite a while. My son always loved math, but that love slightly diminished over the past two years. My son was now genuinly excited to start math class in September. As a bonus, currently he not only loves his course but he is doing great! Thank you Mr. Groden! You willingness to always go the extra mile and the kindness you exhibit towards your students is priceless.

  • 5 star review  Because he was in this class, my son spent more time doing SAT practice tests this summer than he otherwise would have. I didn't have to "nag" him to do practice tests...so, I appreciate that! He ended up knowing alot of the kids in the class, so he enjoyed it. It was also nice to do this in the summer when his schedule was less-busy. The teachers are high energy, well-respected and admired by the kids.

    5 star review  Mr. Groden is a great teacher. His sense of humor keeps students engaged; and his use of real world examples brings relevance to difficult math concepts.
