What is the difference between matter & spacetime?

If the universe is expanding why doesn't the matter in it expand proportionally making it seem as if the universe is static? Alternatively, as spacetime expands why does it not just slide past matter leaving matter unmoved? What anchors the matter to a particular point in spacetime?
