Abstract: 

This paper proposes a first approach with random situations by using a modeling process within the model of Bernoulli's Urn. This way of learning is accessible to 14-15 years old pupils. The software Cabri-géomètre II is used as an empirical computation environment for simulation of the game of "Franc-Carreau", principal activity proposed to pupils in our didactical engineering.
