Chapter 14: Foundations of Non-Linear Functions and Polynomial Operations

This chapter serves as a preview into what is to come in the second half of any Algebra 1 course. You will begin with learning how to graph quadratic equations (parabolas) and absolute value equations (v-shaped graphs) by evaluating x-values. From here you will learn the basics of how to graph and solve basic word problems involving exponential functions. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to a thorough introduction into Polynomials. You will begin with defining, naming, and evaluating polynomials. From there you will rock how to add and subtract polynomials! The chapter closes out with learning how to multiply polynomials using the distributive property and how to factor out a monomial from a polynomial by finding the greatest common factor (GCF). A healthy helping of future Algebra 1 topics is in store!!

  • 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!

    We found Mr. Groden on a community Facebook page and it was a wonderful experience for my son. He is extremely patient and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to any student looking for help.

  • 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.

    Mr. Groden's excitement for math is contagious, and his commitment to inspiring each and every one of us to succeed is incredible. It was an absolute privilege to learn from him and call him my teacher.

  • 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!

    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!

  • Mr. Groden was definitely the best tutor I've ever had. He makes learning easy and enjoyable and he never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. He's an amazing person and an even more amazing tutor. I would definitely recommend him for anyone struggling with math.

    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!

    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!

  • 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.

    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. :)

  • 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 !

    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!

  • 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!

    My son thoroughly enjoyed taking Matt’s summer enrichment pre-calc class. He is a positive upbeat teacher who makes math fun! I would encourage any parent interested in keeping their child engaged in learning to register! He provided my child with renewed excitement in a subject for which he was losing enthusiasm. He had an amazing experience!

  • 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!

    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.

  • positive review  I had Matt Groden for AP Calculus and I have to say, he was and probably will be the greatest teacher I ever had. Not only was he exceptional in terms of his teaching ability and breadth of knowledge, but it is his care for learning was what made him unique. This was the first teacher in a long time that I can remember who valued learning and discovery over just memorizing and ‘teaching to the test’. His ability to make students excited to learn new math material is what makes Matt so perfectly suited for this. Anyone with the chance to learn math with him should most definitely take this opportunity - you will not be disappointed!!

    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.
