The Euclid's Elements approach of axiomatic geometry is interesting, and suitable for maybe a high school course. Before students learn algebra they don't really have an appreciation of deriving equations or proofs from a small starting point. And coordinate geometry is much more practical (some things are simply unconstructible with ruler and compass).
