Formative

Formative is an AI-first platform for real-time instruction and assessment in schools. Teachers create or import lessons and assessments, assign them to students and watch responses appear live, so they can give feedback and adjust teaching while the lesson is still happening.

It supports many question types, including students showing work by drawing, and includes a large library of ready-made content and test-prep materials. AI features help teachers generate questions and give faster feedback. Schools and districts get reporting on student progress across classrooms and standards.

Good fit if you: are a teacher, school or district that wants live insight into student understanding and data-driven instruction.
Less ideal if you: need a full student information system; Formative focuses on instruction and assessment.

Pricing: teachers can start free; premium features and school or district plans are paid.
