What is Formative?

Formative is a real time formative assessment platform that lets teachers build lessons and quizzes with more than twenty question types, including drawing, audio and video responses, and multiple choice, then watch student answers update live as they work. Teachers can give immediate feedback, adjust instruction on the fly, and auto grade many question types, and the built in Luna AI can generate questions or convert paper worksheets into digital assignments.

The Free Teacher plan covers unlimited formatives with basic grading and integrations with Google Classroom, Clever, and ClassLink. A paid Teacher plan adds advanced question types, rubrics, and anti cheating tools, while the custom priced Balanced Assessment tier is built for schools and districts that need shared item banks, standards reporting, and dedicated support. Formative is based in Santa Monica, California.
