These handles allow you to adjust the corner to round the corners of the rectangle. In addition to the regular handles, rectangles also have four circle handles on the inside of every corner. There will be a handle in each corner of the shape, this allows you to resize the shape as you see fit.You’ll see the rectangle’s dimensions underneath the bottom edge: Click on a spot in the canvas and drag to create the rectangle.Select the Rectangle tool from the toolbar, or press R for the keyboard shortcut.Use the rectangle tool to create both rectangles and squares. Hold down Shift and Option / Alt at the same time to do both actions.Hold down Option / Alt to create and resize shapes from their center.Hold down Shift when dragging to create perfect squares, circles and polygons.Show students where the edges, vertices, and faces of 3D shapes are.Point out the length, depth and width of 3D shapes using an object.dice, boxes, or books as examples of cubes and cuboid shapes a ball or an orange as an example of a sphere and a tin can as an example of a cylinder. If you don't have fabricated 3D shapes as a classroom resource, you could use everyday objects: e.g. It would also be helpful to have examples of 3D shapes in the classroom so that students can more easily understand their properties as you explain them. Introduce 3D shapes to your students. The list above may be helpful to introduce the main properties of 3D shapes. 3d shapes also have sides or surfaces which are called faces.3D shapes have edges and corners (called vertices) where the edges meet.

They are different from 2D shapes which are flat. 3D shapes look like objects that you could pick up.
