What do you think? When solid ice melts into liquid water, does its temperature change $while$ it's melting?

so think about it... 

the solid is beginning to melt, but does the temperature of the melting point change? hint: a melting point is a numerical value... so that means that as the solid is melting, its temperature is still at the melting point since it is still currently melting.... therefore, until the solid has completely melted... the melting point would.....? what do you think? :)
