Hello Jenna
 
The melting point of a substance is a physical property that is independent of the amount present.  Therefore, whether you have 1 g, 2 g or 5 g of aluminum, the melting point will still be 660 °C.

I think the important aspect of melting point is that it is an INTENSIVE physical property, and so is independent of the amount present.  Some other physical properties, such as volume, mass, length, etc. are extensive, and would depend on the amount present.
