In this lesson, the time periods are more complex than in the previous lesson. For example, Josh and Arobindo must make sense of the growth of the beanstalk over 17\/28 of one day, and later figure out the height at Day 1.68. As before, they partition the growth rate to correspond with the relative size of the time period, choosing to partition the timeline into 28 equal sections, for example, and then defining the growth over each period as a corresponding root of 3 (for this example, they used the 28<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;root of 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Common Core Math Practices <input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601' value='69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601' value=' '><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-less-text-69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601' value=' '><button id='bg-showmore-action-69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601' class='bg-showmore-plg-button bg-blue-button bg-arrow '   style=\" color:white;\"> <\/button><div id='bg-showmore-hidden-69da3b3bbdd1d0079021601' ><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecorestandards.org\/Math\/Practice\/MP3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP3<\/strong><\/a><strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><em>Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the CCSM, \u201cMathematically proficient students understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments.

Denzel has conflated the growth factor for the height. Arobindo and Josh argue that Denzel is incorrect, offer a counterexample, and use Denzel\u2019s incomplete reasoning to argue for the true height of the beanstalk&nbsp;<strong>[2:35]<\/strong>. They also analyze Isabella\u2019s claim and verify that it is correct, using methods they developed in previous lessons.
