I came across another reference for these made by another forum's member..

As mentioned Formative 'informs and builds up to enable the summative to be made .. an example would be like keeping a washing up diary for a fortnight and then surmising I (definitely) need a dish washer

Whether or not I save up to get one would then become part of the planning (& new formative assessment) of how I get one !!

There are lots of things that can come under formative assessment - play plans, photographs, observations, Minutes that might be taken down at meetings, diaries, home communications, interactions, parent observations & feedback .. Summative can include statement & decision making formats such as - evaluations, profiles, policies, procedures, anything that has a summary or facility for a conclusion, I would imagine a reflective approach is ideal for summative ..

There are a couple of other threads discussing Formative & summative here:
