I am a seventh grade middle school teacher and I like to use both a hands-on
approach using a compass and straightedge and also a technological approach
using Geometer's Sketchpad.

To give you some ideas on using a compass and straightedge you might want to

Then here are some ideas for using Geometer's Sketchpad:

I hope some of those references will give you some ideas.
