100 Snowmen by Jen Arena illustrated by Stephen Gilpin

A great book to use for the 100th day of school.
In rhyming text, the author shares how more and more snowmen come into the scene.  Adding equations are also on every other page.  On the final page there is one long equation adding all the numbers up to equal 100.
I think the snowmen could have looked slightly cuter!
