how do i get my already purchased "numbers" and 'Pages" onto my new iPad??

If you purchased Numbers and Pages for Mac OS X you will not be able to install on an iOS device. To install on an iOS device you will have to purchase the iOS version.

If you have already purchased the iOS versions of these applications, they will appear in your "Purchases" list in the app store. Register your iPad with the same Apple ID as was used for the purchase, and you will be able to download and install it on the iPad (and on any other iOS device registered under the same Apple ID).

Wayne's response applies if your previous purchase was the Mac OS X version of Numbers and Pages.
