Abstract: 

In France, recent mathematics curricula reinforce the teaching of statistics and probability. They recommend starting with an experimental approach introducing the observation of sampling fluctuations and the construction of random experiment simulations in order to prepare students for theory. This approach raises the problem of the didactical practice of random experiment modeling and simulations.
