The notion of time is one of the most abstract and difficult to understand by students in elementary education, but it is also one of the most necessary for the learning of History, historical events, their location and ordering, as well as for understanding of the relations established between them. This paper presents a study case carried out during the first period of the 2017/2018 school year, with two classes from the 8th grade of the 3rd cycle of basic education, in which didactic games and mobile applications were applied to develop students' notion of time and to improve their performance in specific exercises of temporal ordering in the scope of the study of portuguese expansion in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
