First of all, it's okay to experience feelings, and it's okay to recognize qualities you like in someone else besides yourself. It's okay to love and have feelings for someone else.
But love and sex are not the same thing. If he sees you as a daughter, it means he loves you as he would his daughter, but by no means wants to have sex with you in return.
What is so terrible about that, anyway? What is so terrible about a strictly platonic relationship? Why can't you learn to love him as you would a father or a really good friend?
You can like this person, you can love this person, but demanding sex as a confirmation of your own love is selfish and irresponsible. Such an act would cause so much trouble for both of you. Especially if you are still a minor.
A friend of mine in high school had an affair with a popular chorus teacher. The repercussions were awful - like a giant bomb went off. Not only was he arrested and put in jail for having sex with a minor, he lost his job as a chorus teacher after 18 years of hard work and major success for the choirs at the school in state competitions. The man lost his wife to divorce. He lost everything he owned in the divorce settlement.
As for the girl she had to move to a different state. The backlash from former students, current peers, parents, and other teachers at the school was something awful. No one could forgive her for ruining herself and a favorite teacher, just because she needed to selfishly demand sex in return for her crush.
I think you should let him go, and find someone else to love. It is actually quite normal to have multiple crushes over your lifetime. You may be like me - see a music video and suddenly be in love all over again with all four members of a hot rock band, and then two years later fall head over heels for a country star, and then two years later be eyeing the guy in your art class who also rides the bus. None of them ever knew of my crush, and I'm glad it stayed that way. I have stayed physically and emotionally faithful to my husband for 15 years now, and whenever another guy catches my eye, I automatically remind myself that that other guy is not the one who held me when I cried, he was not the one who stayed by my side for two days while I was in labor, he was not the guy who followed our newborn daughter from removal of my body to the nurses station to the nursery, he was not the one who drove 12 hours just to pick me up from my mom's house 2 states away, and he certainly was not the one who patiently helped me get over my sexual hangups. My husband was that guy.
Don't throw yourself and your life over for a crush. Calm down, let it go, and learn about yourself and capabilities so you can have self-confidence, and learn how to give love as well as receive it. It's part of growing up. It can happen.
Good luck in trying.

You should recognize that it is just that, a crush, which is normal. Nothing can ever come of it and nothing ever should. You should focus on friendships with people your own age and forget about your math teacher being anything other than that.

Thank him for his kindness toward you, and then move on. A 'crush' is just that - and, believe it or not, you will quickly get over it - and you must get over it.
Find an activity or project or something that you can happily devote your time and energy toward; the sooner you begin, the happier you'll be.
Go for it!
