Can you say "entangled in math tasks"?

[davidtrinh]

A few weeks ago, I learned the new word "to entangle" in a newspaper. I would like to make up an example with it.

(ex) Mr. Gill encourages his students to apply their math skills in multiple ways. The students who solve math problems using different methods have excellent analytical skills. In contrast, those who are too focused on only one problem-solving strategy are easily entangled in their math tasks.

In my example, I want to emphasize that if the students use only one way of solving math problems, they can get caught up or stuck in the same way all the same.

Does it make sense to use "entangled in their math tasks"? Please explain it. Thank you very much for your help.

Could someone please explain whether or not my use of the verb "entangled" fits this context? Thank you very much.
