How to get started:
Once you create an account, you can click on "Support" at the bottom of the left-side menu of your Formative page and you'll be able to quickly and easily access resources to help you get the most out of Formative.

Instructions for students:
If you import your students from Google Classroom, Clever, or Microsoft, accounts will be automatically created. Your students will be able to access formatives directly from those platforms or sign in to Formative using the SSO option.

If your students don't have Formative accounts, they can sign up here. Once they create an account, they can join your class on Formative using a join code for your class(es).

Alternatively, you can create accounts for your students directly from your Classes page. 

Once a student is in your class on Formative, they will automatically see formatives assigned to their class--there's no need for any more codes.

I signed up for the wrong account type:
If a student accidentally signs up as a teacher or a teacher as a student, here's how to get set up with the right account type.

How many students can you have in a class with Formative?
