Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>select your phone number in ther if it is available and uncheck your Apple ID email address. If the phone numer is not an option in the setting, you will probably have to sign out of and turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and start all over again so that the number becomes an option in the iPad settings.
