You can either mirror the iPad on your TV (you can via the modern
Apple TV on an unsmart TV or on a Smart TV) or, if your TV has some
connectors like HDMI, you can plug the iPad in via the lightening and
an adaptor that takes an HDMI cable The adaptor you get from Apple it
fits the usual lightening to USB iPad dongle, the HDMI from anywhere
and cheap is fine.

I tend to mirror when there is something not obtainable via internet
on Apple TV. Before I had Apple TV, I just cabled the iPad as
described above.

The advantage of going via Apple TV is you have a remote to control
things. Tethering direct, you have to mess about with the iPad which
may not be near you (you can get a long HDMI cable). You can adjust
volume via the TV's remote...
