We make interactive math lessons that follow similar educational principles and design imperatives, albeit built into an intelligent tutoring engine. Some in the UK whine about the BBC being anti-competitive for small business, I think it just raises the bar. We don't do ELL resources, though hundreds of parents have asked us to, but there's some cross-over in our K,1 and 2 lessons which introduce math terminology, principles of word problems, number spelling, and the like. IMO a brain attuned to the structure of math number sentences is one well-placed to understand the effects of word order and basic grammar in English, though that might be a bit of a speculative stretch! Anyway, if you've not heard of us, do wander by. http://www.whizz.us As an English guy working for a Seattle Math Tutoring company I love the breadth and quality of the BBC’s resources.
