Here's a list of all the properties.
a+b = b+a ; commutative property of addition
ab = ba ; commutative property of multiplication
(a+b)+c = a+(b+c) ; associative property of addition
(ab)c = a(bc) ; associative property of multiplication
a+0 = a ; identity property
a*1 = a ; identity property
a*0 = 0 ; property of zero
a+(-a) = 0 ; property of zero
a(b+c) = ab+bc ; distributive property
(-1)*a = -a ; property of opposites
If a =b, then a+c=b+c ; addition property of equality
If a=b, then a-c=a-c ; subtraction property of equality
If a=b, then a*c=b*c ; multiplication property of equality
If a=b, then a/c=b/c where c is not equal to zero ; division property of equality
If a=b, then b=a ; reflexive property of equality
a=a ; symmetric property of equality
If a=b, and b=c, then a=c ; transitive property of equality
