Use your data tables, graphs, and formulas to compare the growth of the three animals from Gzorp in Questions 21–24.
- For which animal on Gzorp is the line through the points on the graph the steepest?
- Which of the three animals grows the fastest? Explain your answer in two different ways.
- How fast does a Rainbow Caterpillar grow? Include units in your answer.
- If each of the three animals lived to be 100 years old, how many squares would each have? Show or tell how you know.
Continue to practice analyzing growth patterns using the More Patterns from Gzorp pages in the Student Activity Book.
Show how to solve each problem.
- How many squares does a 60-year-old Four Arm Starfish have?
- What is the age of a Four Arm Starfish that has 85 squares?
- Estimate the age of a Rainbow Caterpillar with 7500 squares.
For Questions 4 and 5, draw the data table. Fill in each data table for the growth pattern of an animal from Gzorp. If there is no formula written in the box beneath the table, write a formula for the pattern.
