Is practice countable or uncountable?
Can I say the sentence like this: I did two practice today, and will hand them in to the teacher.
Thank you!

Practices can be countable yes. However, it becomes a bit confusing when you phrase the idea the way you have: "I did two practices today...". You'd have to add the 's' in order to make it plural.
A more adequate way to form the sentence would be : "I did two practice sessions(or papers/assignments/tasks) today", all of which will be in a more understandable plural form.

Hello Lilian,
Well done but your sentence doesn't quiet make sense. You could phrase the start of your sentence: "I practiced twice today", as for the second half, practice is a verb (you do it) not a noun (thing/object) so you can not hand it to the teacher.
