    Mathematical thinking can involve diverse brain areas, including the frontal lobes
    (working memory, planning), visual areas (visualization), spatial areas (estimation,
    representation), and sites for impersonal (facts) and personal (including emotions)
    memory.

    There is even some evidence that teen brain are able to process algebraic equations
    more flexibly and efficiently than adults (here).

    Many brain areas are involved in various aspects of math problem solving - including
    working memory, spatial memory, number representation, etc., that's why students
    may "overload" with mathematical problem solving.
