An argument is a discussion in which a disagreement is expressed.  It is important to have facts to support your argument.

Discussing a problem and listening to each other will help you to understand a problem better. 
     You may agree or disagree on an answer, but by talking it out you can find out which answer is correct.

Here are some examples where a student disproves an argument.
