Just do it all with jQuery syntax:

$('#addbtn').click(function (){
    var addMat = $('#addMat');
    if( addMat.css('display')  === 'none' ) {
      addMat.css('display','inline');
      $(this).val('Cancel');
    } else {
      addMat.css('display','none');
      $(this).val('Add Material');
    }
});
