@Draus Hey! I did 5 of homework in any context isn't correct.
I would say
"Today I did my homework" is all you need.
Also, "only today" is repetitive.
let me know if you need more clarification though :)

@DarrinTaylor Um, sorry, I made a typo haha. I wanted to say "only today I did 5 homework" but I think "homework" left a grammatical error and didn't help with the meaning I wanted to express.
What I want to understand is the expression that is used when you want to say that you have done a lot of things in just one day (or any other measure of time).
Maybe I should change the above phrases for these two:
"Only today I wrote 5 letters" or "Just today I wrote 4 letters".

@Draus OK I understand now. Yes, both are correct, but again you will not need the "Only" or "Just" as it really doesn't add anything to the sentence. So just "Today I wrote (X number) of letters."
