In terms of method, this study was a systematic review; In the first step, using a systematic review, keywords were selected for data retrieval. In the second step, the judgment indicators about the selection of sources were checked, and after screening, finally 21 articles, scientific reports and books were selected.
Findings: the findings after accreditation showed that many countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Oman, Malaysia, Australia, Turkey, Greece and Finland use Supplementary books and resources. But the main difference between the use of textbooks in these countries and the educational system of Iran is in the purpose of using Supplementary books.
