2. About the CAST Diagram

To learn about the CAST Diagram please click on the CAST Diagram Theory link. Please also find in Sections 2 & 3 below videos, PowerPoints, mind maps and worksheets on this topic to help your understanding. The Essential Skills 15 worksheet, along with actual SQA Exam Questions, are highly recommended. Worksheet 1 (template here) is a good introduction as it involves plotting the Sine, Tan and Cosine waves.

If you would like more help understanding the CAST Diagram there are clear, easy to follow, step-by-step worked solutions to dozens of N5 Maths Past & Practice exam questions on all topics in the Online Study Pack. Please give yourself every opportunity for success, speak with your parents, and subscribe to the exam focused Online Study Pack today.

CAST Diagram

  • stands for Cosine, All, Sine & Tan
  • helps us to remember the signs of the trigonometric functions in each of the quadrants
  • is also called the Quadrant Rule or the ASTC Diagram
  • is used to help solve Trig Equations in a given range

.

The sine wave below has been divided into 4 quadrants

.

From the above diagram, the sine wave is:

  • Positive in quadrants 1 & 2  (above the x-axis)
  • Negative in quadrants 3 & 4  (below the x-axis)

.

Repeating the above for cosine & tan,

The signs of the three basic trigonometric functions in each quadrant are shown in the table below:

A more convenient way of writing this is to note that all functions are positive in the 1st quadrant, only sine is positive in the 2nd, only tangent in the 3rd and only cosine in the 4th. We express this using the CAST diagram as the letters, taken anticlockwise from the bottom right, read C-A-S-T. The letter in each quadrant tells us which trigonometric functions are positive in that quadrant. The `A’ in the 1st quadrant stands for all (meaning sine, cosine and tangent are all positive in this quadrant). `S’, `C’ and `T’ ,of course, stand for sine, cosine and tangent. The diagrams below show two different forms of the CAST diagram.

A detailed CAST diagram is shown below:

.

A simpler version of the diagram is shown below:

 

.       

  • A ⇒ All (Sine, Tan & Cosine) Positive 0° – 90°
  • S ⇒ Sine Positive 90° – 180°
  • T ⇒ Tan Positive 180° – 270°
  • C ⇒ Cosine Positive 270° – 360°

The CAST diagram can also be called a ASTC diagram as it keeps the letters in the correct quadrant order. Ways to remember:

  • All Sinners Take Care.
  • All Students Take Calculus.
  • Add Sugar To Coffee.
  • A Smart Trig Class.
  • All Stations To Central.

  • I  have just completed my Higher Maths exam. Both the N5 and Higher Maths Online Study Packs have been absolutely invaluable. I managed to get a ‘B’ in the N5 Maths exam in 2022 and am now hoping for an ‘A’ at Higher. I would like to say thank you for providing a website like this. I am holding a conditional offer from Stirling and Strathclyde to do Maths with Teaching in 2024 and I couldn’t be more excited to becoming a Maths teacher.

    Kieran

  • Just a thank you!

    We’re using the advancedhighermaths.co.uk site and it is excellent. This has been a real help while our wonderful school teachers fight their way through lockdown tech nightmare. Later on today my younger daughter will be using the free national 5 maths website. Thanks so much.

    Jennifer – Parent

  • Hello, I am writing to thank you for your wonderful website! I subscribed when I was studying for my National 5 exam (as an adult learner) and found it invaluable. I am delighted to have just discovered the huge amount of resources for younger learners too. My son who is in S2 will benefit from these, now and in future, as will my daughter when she moves up to S1 after summer. So just wanted to say thanks very much! Kind regards, Clare.

    Clare

  • Hey, Just wanted to say thank you so much for this amazing resource! Last year I was expecting to scrape a B in my N5 exam if I was lucky, and after discovering this website and working through it over the past year, my teacher said she’ll be surprised if I don’t get an A1!!! So once again, thank you so much!!!

    Olivia

  • Thanks for this fantastic website you have here. So well laid out, easy to follow and as a parent trying to help their child with studying. Only £20 for the Study Pack has been excellent value considering that many tutors charge £40 an hour. I will be continuing with this for Higher Maths and also for my younger child to ensure they are keeping up with the course. The worked solutions are so clear and easy to follow and I just cannot thank you enough. Wish there was something similar for the science subjects.

    Claire

  • I got an ‘A’ in my National 5 Maths Exam! I’m very pleased as I did it my first attempt. Your website content definitely helped clarify and consolidate my understanding of the subject.

     

    Nigel

  • Just had a look at the worked solutions for the 2018 N5 Math Past Paper – Calculator was absolutely fine, but some tricky questions in non-calculator part, particularly 19b. We found the non-calculator paper much harder than five previous past papers. Anyway hopefully she has achieved an ‘A’ Pass and we will definitely be using your excellent site for Higher Maths next term.

    Graham

  • E-mailing you guys know that you are doing a great job compiling all these excellent resources, it has been a great help to me and probably many many others. It has allowed me to get a reassuring prelim mark and has given me confidence for the final exam (tomorrow). Thanks for all the help and keep up the good work.

    Umar

  • Hello, I decided to write to you to thank you for this website, it has helped me incredibly and the amount of content you have is amazing. I was very happy to discover the many practice papers you have as I had began to run out of papers to do once completed all the SQA past papers. The checklists for the three different units is very helpful and I will definitely be taking these to school with me on the day of my exam to look over! Thank you again for being so helpful to us, it is greatly appreciated and I will be placing any success I have during the National 5 exam on this website due to the endless resources and help you have available. Thank you 🙂 Emily, Nat 5 Maths student.

    Emily
