You can find average growth rate charts based on gender online, but it seems like they grow about 1/2-1" every week for the first 10-12 weeks. After that, it's pretty much 1/2" every week.

A lot of variables such as gender, diet, and habitat are at play in the growth of these dragons, but the average is that they grow anywhere from an half an inch to an inch every week up to six months. Growth can be a little less or a bit more than this.

It can vary a great deal between individual bearded dragons but between 9 and 13 weeks it appears that he should be growing about an inch a week.

A beaded dragon will grow to be about 16 - 22 inches long. They will have growth spurts until they reach their full height and weight.

Like a lot of lizards, the growth is highly variable and dependent on both the diet provided and the actual size of the habitat in which you keep it. A large habitat may allow rapid doubling of size.
